Kindl played very well when he was recalled, i have no issue with giving him another opportunity.

He was talking about his time with the Russian team and even some Detroit and Russian 5 talk.

To be fair: Weiss is a vet and Nyquist is an older and much better offensive player than Sheahan probably ever will be.

The old subtle inteference bitching, as if they don't do any of the sort

I don't know, Quincey has been pretty good this year and D seems like he's in a bit of a sophmore slump.

We have a great chance at winning the cup, what the f*** are you even talking about?

for sure a dive

Yes!!!

I agree with that. I put Orr out there simply because people were mentioning Lemieux

Why not Bobby Orr over both Mario and Gretzky? Or Howe? Don't get me wrong their offense was lights out, but the other 2 brought almost the same level, while attributing more in other ways. Just curious.

Is it just me or does Mantha sound more foreign than most of our Swedish and Russian players? Edit: and holy s*** I just had the sound on and had to scroll up. I could have swore that was Babcock not Blashill

Wow people are really freaking out. We played like absolute s*** the last 2 games and almost beat both teams. Tatar/Jurco just need to adjust, hell it seems as though you can see those 2 slowly emerging from their slumps. Calm down everyone

It's crazy that they have infact proved they call based on reactions instead of actions themselves

It really is s***ty we lost Lidstrom last year

No chace Mike Illitch is selling the team while his son is taking over day to day operations of Olympia Ent. Think about this; Illitch is known for being a loyalty/family man. You really think he'd sell the team out from under his own son? That would be a huge slap in the face. I would possibly believe it somewhat if it said Chris Illitch were to be selling the team. I doubt that to be the case as well. If he did that it would be removing a large part of the legacy the Illitchs have provided for Detroit and the family is much to intrenched in the city for something like that to occur.

what do you mean hasn't played in a year? Such a cop out...

How was that not a penalty?

Really liked what I saw from Smith, Jensen, Mrazek, Sproul, Jurco, Callahan, Weiss, and the X man

Why is the 3rd line look better than the 2nd?

Karate Chop Ken Holland in the face and ask him what the f*** his problem is

I am not a huge fan of Babcock the last few years, but that was a great interview today. It didn't sound like he was willing to commit to Cleary and accepted they may have dead money on the books. He also sounded confident about an extension.

Guess he isn't part of the "boys" club enough to just get boat loads of money for being a worthless piece of s***, like our GM or a few of our players.

I'm sure it's to stay in the minors while we re-sign Dominic Hasek to a 5 year NTC

Seriously what the f*** are you talking about? Losing Cleary was addition by subtraction, the fact that this piece of s*** is taking both money from the cap and a roster spot from a more deserving player is exactly why Holland should be fired. Not to mention the countless other terrible moves he's made the last 4 years. The NTC is just icing on the cake. Really? So we haven't been relevant since 2009? How much good faith do you give someone before they are in the hot seat, I think 5 years of not doing the right moves is enough of a sample size to call for changes. What did he do to fix losing Rafalski? what about Lidstrom? Or Stuart? Oh at least he brought in Bert, Sammy, Tootoo, Cleary x2, Coliacavo, Williams, White, Commodore......Yep you are right, we should all swing from Hollands nuts because he f****** managed to put a team together a decade ago, in an entirely different league. Most fans do not pay to see there team bring in players because they are bffs with thef****** GM, they pay to have the best product available, and I question any fan who would ask otherwise out of their team.

I wish the mods would just lock this thread, and make this whole thing go away!
